I’ve been pretty down on the Simpsons this week. It’s just been a bit of a cavalcade of mediocre to actively bad episodes, and I’ll be honest, it’s been a little draining. This is the point in the show when I tapped out as a fan, and it’s […]
You know what type of episode is often pretty fun? Ones where they take a tertiary character and let them be the focus, letting us learn more about them that we’d ever thought possible. There’s been dozens of episodes like these, and we’ve learned a lot of things […]
Weird week, huh? Yeah, things aren’t great on the Simpsons. We’re firmly in the era where I was checking out as a teenager, and most of the episode I either have absolutely no memory of, or just the faintest recollection, where I probably was half-watching it the […]
So yesterday didn’t start the week off nicely, did it? Yeah, things were rough. And let me tell you, things are going to continue that way, basically the whole week. We’ve really gotten stuck with some real clunkers. Case in point, this episode. Have you ever wanted […]
Last week we got to start off with a fairly decent Treehouse of Horror episode. It was a nice way to start things off. And this week, oddly enough, we also get to start with a triptych episode. But this time it’s about Christmas! And kind of […]
Hey everybody, and welcome to our last installment of Lifetime of Simpsons for the year. And what better way to end 2016 than with this super weird little hodgepodge of an episode. Because we somehow have been given a combination of a Sideshow Bob episode and a vacation […]
We seem to be in the era of the show that I dipped out of. The last couple episodes have been familiar to me, but in a way that I think I maybe saw them when they first aired, and then never again. And today may be […]
Well what a coincidence. Yesterday we had an episode about Bart and Marge’s relationship, and today we get an old-fashioned Lisa and Homer episode. However, this episode really only uses that to get to a really weird jumping off point where the episode completely goes off the […]
One of my favorite types of episodes of the Golden Age of Simpsons were episodes that revolved around Homer and Lisa’s relationship. They were usually all guaranteed to be pretty much perfect episodes. But, oddly enough, the inverse usually wasn’t true. Nor that common. Episodes about Bart and […]
Last week was a little odd, what with us entering Season Seventeen without the loving embrace of a Treehouse of Horror episode to user us in. But, the law of averages has shined upon us, and we get to start the week off with Season Seventeen’s Halloween […]
